The Velocity Racing League enters a new phase this Thursday with the Sodium 2 Nemesis Update. With the start of the Nemesis stage of the Velocity Racing League a new challenge awaits you in the form of a new track (complete with reverse mode) – Wasteland Spires!

New technological advances pioneered on Iridos have also paved the way for a new set of Velocity Racer upgrades, also releasing this week. New rocket boosters and hover engine upgrades will give you even more customizability options for your craft, allowing you to make the decisions that could see you sitting pretty at the top of the Sodium 2 leader boards.

Your hard-fought quest for bragging rights also gets a boost with the introduction of the Holo-rank system. When you enter the Launch Grid, your level will be displayed on the back of your avatar for all to see – wear it with pride! Also added are a range of smaller improvements to Sodium 2 based on your feedback such as the ability to quickly select new classes of vehicle in multiplayer, and removing chat bubbles during the race. Check out this huge update to Sodium 2 when it releases this Thursday!

The PlayStation Home Community Theater receives an update this Thursday. This week, LittleBigPodcast covers the new Toy Story DLC for LBP2 while PSXextreme shares some Resistance 3 news and looks at upcoming HD game collections.

I find it extremely hard to believe and I’m really surprised at Sony that they give more support, improvements, features, content, etc. to Home but none to more important core things like the UI, in-game UI and all the mandatory features YOUR consumers have been dying for for years! yes, like cross party chat, universal game invites, universal music playback, PSN Online ID change to name a few, and don’t give me any, “the PS3 can’t do cross chat” because it can, all Sony has to do is improve the UI and in-game UI for examples (which they already need a huge overhaul) and have them use less RAM and cross party chat can be implemented. If not, worse case scenario release new PS3’s with more RAM, just like you did with the PSP so your consumers dying for these features can finally get them. If games need to be patched than the devs that want to patch them will, simple! Sony could even make it mandatory just like they did with Trophies.

Hey Locust_Star Im still having problems with the zombie-survival game
it seems that wave 2 and 3 are still locked, even the double-axe and Sawblade Mace weapons are also lacked, even the challenges I clear keeps on resetting. Because of this problem I can’t even complete any of the challenges since everything is still locked and they keep on resetting even if I manage to clear a challenge

I have the same problem like him i want to know if this will have solution plis

Where the hex is my severed zombie head? I was watching how we were doing. I know we got 20,000,000 kills. Right after that is when they changed it to the X-Men Magneto game. When are we getting it? Please be a zombie head you carry in your hand by the hair… please….
